Description

Nicknamed 'the Ledge' on account of his legendary status, John Greig has been voted the greatest Ranger of all time by the fans and his statue stands outside Ibrox. He is regarded as a truly inspirational captain whose achievements speak for themselves: numerous Scottish Championships and Cups, captain of the successful European Cup Winners Cup side of 1972 and the only player to play in three Treble-winning sides. He also captained his country, winning 44 caps for Scotland. He went on to enjoy a turbulent time as manager of Rangers and he was never able to match the success he found as a player.

The highs and lows of his career are told with great humour and insight as he relives classic moments on the pitch, and hilarious off-the-pitch antics with both club and country. John Greig also reveals how he very nearly never played football at all, having been left for dead as a teenager after a dramatic accident.
